Tennis player Jessica Pegula won the third match in the basic group of Bacalar at the Tournament of Champions and advanced to the semifinals without losing a set.
The fifth-seeded American, who was already certain of the first place in the table, defeated Maria Sakkariová 6:3, 6:2. The Greek, who only got to Mexico as a replacement for the injured Karolína Muchová, on the other hand lost the third match and won only one set.
Another program in Cancun was disrupted by rain. The second match of the group, in which the second seed between Aryna Sabalenkova of Belarus and Jelena Rybakinova of Kazakhstan will be decided in a straight fight, was interrupted at the end of the second set. Sabalenková won the opening set 6:2, in the second her opponent led 5:3.
Even the doubles match, in which Pegula was supposed to take the court again, was postponed until today. Together with Coco Gauffová, she will face a duel with the German-Russian couple Laura Siegemundová and Vera Zvonarevová.
